Can someone confirm how long Innis suspension is and which games. I've heard various different versions so far. Confused by the various cup games.
Similarly for Clare. I believe he has a one match ban now for bookings. But is it next game or next league game?

Makes the next league game interesting, if Egbo is out, Clare and Inniss suspended and O'Connell injured too, that leaves a back 4 of Sessegnon, Thomas, Lavelle and ???
Accumulating five, ten, fifteen or twenty Yellow Cards in league matches can result in an automatic ban in your relevant league. Accumulated Yellow Cards in cup competitions are treated separately and can result in an automatic ban from the cup competition in which the Yellow Cards were received
As for Innis
Suspensions following a Red Card are applied across both league and cup competitions– however if the sending-off offence occurs in an EFL Trophy Match, the relevant automatic suspension must be served exclusively in the EFL Trophy, unless specified by The FA. Players who are dismissed for a second time in a season will receive an additional match suspension. Players who are dismissed for a third time will receive two additional matches and so forth.
Yellow cards are not cross-competition whereas red cards are (EFL Trophy excluded).
Inniss will be suspended for Coalville in addition to having missed Ipswich. He would usually get a one match suspension for two yellow cards and be available for Coalville however because it's his second sending off this season, he gets an additional match added (another card would be three matches for a double yellow or five matches for serious foul play). That additional match will be in the FA Cup next weekend and not EFL Trophy in midweek as the latter is bucketed separately from the other competitions. In practice, that means Inniss could feature in the EFL Trophy against Brighton but I doubt he will.
Clare will be suspended for Burton (but available for Brighton, Coalville and Stevenage) as yellow card accumulation suspensions are kept within the same competition.
